General Electric Relay, Overload, Capacitor

This compressor controller is a direct replacement control module that regulates compressor start/stop and run cycles to help restore normal cooling performance in refrigerators when the original module fails. What it does:

• Controls compressor start and run sequences to maintain proper refrigeration.
• Helps prevent short cycling by managing compressor runtime.
• Can cause the compressor to run continuously or run irregularly if defective.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the module and PCB carefully; avoid static discharge and contact with moisture.
• Verify connector orientation and secure mounting; do not force connectors.

This capacitor helps the refrigerator's compressor start and run more reliably by supplying the motor with a brief boost of electrical energy. Installing a fresh capacitor can restore normal compressor starting and reduce hard-start symptoms. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost needed for compressor motor startup and stable running
• Helps prevent slow-starting or frequently-stopping compressor behavior
• Can reduce loud clicking or humming during start-up when the original capacitor fails
• Supports consistent cooling performance by enabling proper compressor operation

• One compressor capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge and handle with insulated tools
• Inspect mounting and wiring for heat or oil damage and replace damaged components as needed

A run capacitor that helps the appliance motor maintain smooth, efficient operation by stabilizing voltage and phase. Replaces a worn or failing capacitor to restore consistent motor performance and reduce erratic cycling. What it does:

• Provides phase shift and stable voltage to the motor for steady running
• Commonly replaces capacitors that cause humming, weak motor start, or intermittent operation
• Helps prevent motor overheating and frequent tripping when functioning correctly
• Works with the appliance's electrical system to improve overall motor reliability

• One run capacitor

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely before touch or removal
• Inspect mounting, terminals, and wiring for damage; replace any compromised components
